The Simon Family Foundation has provided
me with the strength of its staff and scholars
who have taught me that success is based on
passion and will.

What Scholarship is About
The Simon Family Foundation’s “Simon Schol-
ars Program” was created to help economically
disadvantaged students who face difficult life
circumstances and seek to advance themselves
through a college education. It is an especially
unique scholarship program in that it begins
in the summer before a student’s junior year
in high school. The Simon Scholars Program
offers its participants tools, mentoring and sup-
port that create successful college applicants
with the ultimate goal of developing confident
individuals who remain highly competitive
throughout their college years and beyond.
The Simon Family Foundation understands that
it takes much more than financial support to
change lives. Thus, the Foundation has de-
veloped and become known for its intensive,
hands-on college preparatory support program.
We offer our recipients a host of resources
aimed at whole-person development while in
high school, including leadership and life-skills
training, college coaching/application assis-
tance, a notebook computer, SAT/ACT prepara-
tion courses and exposure to the arts.
